Proposed party amendment ‘may affect election road map’

By The Nation

 

A proposed amendment of the political party law could be pursued but it would affect timeframes under the election road map, National Legislative Assembly (NLA) president Pornpetch Wichitcholchai said on Tuesday.

 

Pornpetch was referring to a proposal by the founder of the Peoples’ Reform Party, Paiboon Nititawan, who is seeking legal amendments, especially on the matter of party registration.

 

Paiboon has said that the system, which currently allows parties to recheck their membership rolls and collect fees from those people, disadvantaged new parties that had to seek new members.

 

He said the process should be completely reset to allow equal treatment for all.

 

Pornpetch said amendment to the law was possible but this would affect the timeframes given to parties to complete registration and other tasks required under the law’s provisional chapter. Moreover, it could also affect the road map to the election, Pornpetch said.

User guide on how to delay elections:

Step 1: have one of your puppets create a new pro-military party

Step 2: make it impossible for a (new) party to respect the rules and deadlines you have defined

Step 3: have your puppet complain that new parties cannot make it on time

Step 4: show your understanding for the difficult situation of political parties (that you have caused) by further delaying elections.

Those EU guys are suckers.  They should have waited longer before normalizing relations.  Elections are just a dream held by some.

It may be also a way to put pressure on the Junta.

I'm not starting to doubt, I doubted it right from the start, back in May 2014. I'm watching my predictions come true, one step at a time.

Its a proposal from one party at this stage and hasn't been accepted yet. The NLA are saying the proposal "Could" delay an election

 

To be fair I don't think they have a choice and there will be an election next year

I'm not sure. I think the next delaying tactic will be based on the Jan 5 deadline for registering party members. However, this can't happen because of the ban on political activities. This will force the political parties to request an extension. This will in turn cause an election delay, but will be blamed on the political parties. 

 

The military has been playing this game for a long time and know all the tricks...

Ok I can write what I think is happening on here, but when you look at the open criticism of the Junta now in the papers and on Thai TV, also civilians in cabinet etc the Junta are not choosing to allow that and IMO they won't be choosing or delaying an election date, Lets see what happens
